Question:
The questioner says in the last of his questions: I heard from some of the brothers that they say: that al-Fatihah is obligatory in the loud prayers, and I heard from others saying: that it is not obligatory in the loud prayers; due to the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-A'raf: 204]?
Answer:
Yes, recitation is obligatory in the quiet and loud prayers for the follower, according to the correct view. In the loud prayers, he recites and then listens, and in the quiet prayers, he recites and recites with it whatever is easy in the first and second rak'ahs of Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, 'Isha', and Fajr. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 247Sahih (Darussalam), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 823Da'if (Al-Albani). This indicates the obligation of recitation for the follower in the loud and quiet prayers. However, if he missed the recitation out of ignorance or forgetfulness, it is dropped from him; because it is obligatory, not ...... obligatory upon the follower. Likewise, if he comes and the imam is bowing, it is dropped from him, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) approved Abu Bakrah when he came and the imam was bowing, and did not order him to make up the rak'ah. Rather, he said: "May Allah increase you in eagerness and do not return to it," when he bowed before the row. He said: Sunan Abi Dawud 683Sahih (Al-Albani), and did not tell him to make up the rak'ah in which he did not recite al-Fatihah. As for the hadith: Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:313, it is a weak hadith.
So the correct view is that the follower recites only al-Fatihah in the loud and quiet prayers ... in the loud prayers, whereas in the quiet prayers, he recites with it whatever is easy in the first and second rak'ahs. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you, O Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge and benefit the Muslims with you.
The questioner says in the last of his questions: I heard from some of the brothers that they say: that al-Fatihah is obligatory in the loud prayers, and I heard from others saying: that it is not obligatory in the loud prayers; due to the saying of Allah the Exalted:
So when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَأَنصِتُوا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَAnswer:
Yes, recitation is obligatory in the quiet and loud prayers for the follower, according to the correct view. In the loud prayers, he recites and then listens, and in the quiet prayers, he recites and recites with it whatever is easy in the first and second rak'ahs of Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, 'Isha', and Fajr. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
There is no Salat for the one who does not recite Fatihatil-Kitab.
لا صلاة لمن لم يقرأ بفاتحة الكتابPerhaps you recite behind your imam? We replied: Yes, it is so, Messenger of Allah. He said: Do not do so except when it is Fatihat al-Kitab, for he who does not recite it is not credited with having prayed.
لعلكم تقرءون خلف إمامكم؟ قلنا: نعم. قال: لا تفعلوا إلا بفاتحة الكتاب فإنه لا صلاة لمن لم يقرأ بهاMay Allah increase your eagerness! But do not do it again.
زادك الله حرصاً ولا تعدWhoever has an imam, then his recitation is for him
من كان له إمام فقراءته له قراءةSo the correct view is that the follower recites only al-Fatihah in the loud and quiet prayers ... in the loud prayers, whereas in the quiet prayers, he recites with it whatever is easy in the first and second rak'ahs. Yes.
